Description

An incident of ultra Orthodox Jews spitting at Christian worshippers in Jerusalem drew widespread backlash this week, both from Israeli officials and foreign countries. Yonit and Jonathan discuss the event - which is not the first of its kind - and the varying comments that followed, including those who claimed spitting at Christians is a “Jewish tradition”. 
And - as the calendar marks 50 years since the Yom Kippur War, Yonit and Jonathan are joined by Professor Yuval Neria, decorated fighter turned psychology researcher, to discuss the impact of the traumatic event on the Israeli psyche - and his own experiences from battle. 
Plus, the mensch-winning matzo ball soup found in an unexpected location in Europe.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
